I verified for you that Taxing 17 can be solved 100% with builders and bashers. I uploaded the replay to the Lemmings File Portal along with Tricky 20 and Taxing 21, 26 and 29.

Um... you may have misread my post, because I did say that I already did that one. Can't view replays anyway (but nonetheless thanks, I'm sure others will be glad to be able to see them).

You reached the hidden exit with only builders and bashers? I tried that earlier but when I bashed to it from the last hole I bashed right over it (even though I bashed from the lowest possible point).
EDIT - I just did it by going to the next lowest hole and then using all of my remaining builders to get as high up as I can, which was just barely enough to reach the exit. Going to the visible exit on the left was a lot easier though.

Proxima

I used two builders in the hole with the fire trap to reach the right horizontal level. As I said, a frustrating experience, as I didn't know the exact location of the exit beforehand.

....and only now do I realise that having done that, it's stupidly obvious that the exact same method of building a bridge over the water can be used in a solution aiming at the visible exit as well, which is, as you say, much easier.

That level...  has a hidden exit?

I thought tricky 28 was the only one.

Yep. "X marks the spot".

Actually, just one of the X's  http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/tongue.gif" alt=":P" title="Tongue" class="smiley" />
Finally released my 6th level pack! Ten levels intended to push you quite a bit beyond the expectations of Mayhem/Havoc; check 'em out and let me know what you think!

Original lemmings isn't quite finished yet, I don't think we have a *confirmed* result for Tricky 14.
So I'm going to work on one now.

EDIT: Confirmed 100% with Builders+Bashers.
EDIT: Also confirmed 100% with Builders+Miners.

I don't think Builders+Diggers (even non-100%) can be done... what about Bombers+Builders?



ALSO, not sure if someone already did this, but I improved Tricky 27 to 3 types (did it without the bashers, using only climbers, builders and miners).
My projects
2D Lemmings: NeoLemmix (engine) | Lemmings Plus Series (level packs) | Doomsday Lemmings (level pack)
3D Lemmings: Loap (engine) | L3DEdit (level / graphics editor) | L3DUtils (replay / etc utility) | Lemmings Plus 3D (level pack)
Non-Lemmings: Commander Keen: Galaxy Reimagined (a Commander Keen fangame)

It does, and so does its earlier version (Fun 23). And, even though this doesn't lead to any new results, I've now confirmed that it (the Taxing version) can be beaten 100% with builders and bashers using any of the three exits.

Before we move on to ONML, can I just check one thing? Someone posted a replay proving that one of the Taxing 22 two-skill solutions is glitch-free. What about the other three?

Clam

They're all glitch free. However, there seem to be too few builders to achieve 100% with any of these three solutions.

Minim

Crazy 1: Climbers, blockers and bombers.
Crazy 8: Blockers, builders and bashers.

Crazy 9 is pesky. I tried builders and bashers but however hard I try I can't get it to work.

Lix: #2  #7
Both Engines: #3

Crazy 1 can actually be completed 100% with diggers and blockers.

Proxima

That's the reason I went past that level earlier; I knew a 100% route existed, just not the details of it.

It's possible.

Proxima

Crazy 12: builders, bashers (100%)
Crazy 13: builders, miners, diggers
Crazy 14: blockers, builders, bashers, diggers
Crazy 15: builders, diggers
Crazy 16: builders, bashers (100%)
Crazy 17: builders, bashers, diggers (100%)
Crazy 18: builders, bashers, miners
Crazy 19: builders, bashers, diggers
Crazy 20: builders, bashers (100%)

May as well add that Crazy 9 is 100% (required) since my above post didn't say so.

Clam

You can add to Crazy 9:

bashers + miners
bashers + diggers
builders + miners

all with 100% of course.

Okay, I think I see how the blocker/builders and digger/builders solutions work. I cannot fathom how the others could be possible....
